One of the accounts of Sejanus's downfall was that Tiberius sent him to the Senate, where he was given a letter to read on Tiberius's behalf to the Senators. The speech started off as the usual mundane affairs of state, but mid-sentence changed into a denunciation of Sejanus and an order for his execution. Sejanus was thus tricked into dictating his own death sentence, and the Senate eagerly lynched him on the spot.
The early Roman Empire suffered a series of setbacks which really impacted it's stability. The death of the majority of Augustus' intended heirs, Germanicus' murder and Sejanus' scheming all hindered the stable Julio-Claudian succession and the subsequent reigns of Caligula and Nero annihilated it completely.
@@Mattyhollis Curiously during the whole principate period, the imperial office only passed from biological father one of his sons three times, Vespasianus to Titus, Marcus Aurelius to Commodus and Septimius Severus to Caracalla, the results most of the time were pretty bad only saved by the fact that Titus' short reing was promising which is compensated by the fact that Domitian, his successor, was considered ,alongside Caracalla and Commodus, as one of the most tyranical emperors of this period ,the pattern almost repeats itself in each case, a competent or good emperor is followed by a son that shows some of the worst traits not only as ruler but as human being.
So happy you guys finally did this guy. Still I think you guys missed a really critical detail in his rise to power and downfall. Sejanus and the Pretorian Guard functioned like a modern KGB for Tiberius. Having gained the trust of the empereror, he effectively took over most of Tiberius's spy network. It got pregressively worse as Tiberius was isolated from politics and public life. Once Tiberius left Rome to an island seclusion, Sejanus had cut off all valid intel and reports from Tiberius, keeping him in the dark with false information as he subverted imperial power. He became brazen in his actions and sloppy, he thought Tiberius wouldn't be able to learn of his gradual power grab. What he didn't count on was that someone still managed to leak real information instead of the lies being reported to the island. Tiberius immediately took action and revenge.
I agree since it's not what people think of when thinking of the Pretorian Guard. People don't often realize the Pretorian guard gathered confidential Intel for the emperor as one of their functions, it's not what they're famous for.
I guess it depends on the personality of the person at stake. You don’t get this high up the chain without some degree of crazy ambition. Sometimes power becomes a drug one can’t ignore
This is a Hollywood worthy movie. 10/10 would watch it. Again, thanks for this incredible story, Kings and Generals. Another "little known" story came into light because of you.
Interesting fact, Sejanus was the one who appointed Pontius Pilate to the Prefectship of Judea. The same man who adjudicated on the trial and crucifixion of Jesus.
@@randomlygeneratedname7171 it's the same Pilatus, Jesus would have been born during Augustus' reign (31 BC to 14 AD) and died while Tiberius' was princeps (14 to 37 AD) Pilatus indeed was appointed on Sejanus' request to be prefect in Judea (26 to 36 AD) and ordered the crucifixion of Jesus in 30 or 31 AD.
@@randomlygeneratedname7171 that's the way it is, altough I gotta say, times certainly are quite interesting still. The world changed and so did we, just the means by which people compete in power changed. But aswell, the future is uncertain, who knows, maybe there will be another time of Kings and Prophets?
That is just a theory based on the assumption Pilate was driving an anti-semitic plot and accepting the highly rethorical claim that Seianus was an anti-semitic himself found in Philo. Be as it may be, there's no concrete evidence Seianus appointed Pilate.
16:19 I like the scrolling tile mosaics effect over the map of the Mediterranean. Cool touch. It ties one of the most tangible and colorful artifacts we have available today with the stories of the era. Plus such mosaics are usually associated with bathhouses/water works. The wider metaphorical implications haven't gone unnoticed, especially in the context of this documentary with the intrigue surrounding Tiberius, Capri, and the legendary Roman bathhouses. Well done.
Also as a side note Germanicus was the most famous and beloved Roman who never got to be the emperor. Some historians said that he was even more beloved than Augustus himself and if he wanted, he could have marched on Rome with Rhine legions unopposed
I read an interesting theory a few years back that Pontius Pilate of New Testament fame was a protege of Sejanus. One of the problems that some historians have with the New Testament account is the assertion that Pilate was afraid of the Jewish leaders given his documented heavy-handiness on other occasions. The about face makes sense, however, if it happened in the middle of the witch hunt following Sejanus' downfall. In that sense, the infamous phrase "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar" takes on a whole new meaning.
I think the narrator in these episodes is excellent , clear and precise. These are excellent in quality and told in a way so.that Roman history is very accessible. Thank you to all who work hard to produce these videos for this great channel.
Great video! Those interested in dramatic depictions of Sejanus---there are two versions: A 70s production "I Claudius" which recounts the lives of the first Emperors. Episode 6 and 7, and Sejanus is played by PATRICK STEWART! The second one is a 60s production in black and white--"The Caesars" I forget who played Sejanus, but he is great also.
Very beautiful work people, and I must say, that new map of the Roman Empire...ah, is just great! It is increasingly harder to find my words for this, but you really are born for what you do, and the content is not just art, it represents something beautiful. It is a wierd feeling I have when I watch them, not because I am a history enthusiast, but I just feel, I CAN LITERALLY TOUCH, the effort, passion and simple joy you put in it. Thank you for doing this!!!
Thanks alot for your kind words. I actually feel the same way while I draw maps, icons, and art. K&G team is very dedicated and work professionaly so the scripts, voiceover, sound and video edit, all parts are done by people who are true history fans. Thanks for watching.
Sejanus was actually killed by "The Spartan" in Athens but due to his studies in Necromancy he came back to life. Little did we know he wasn't working for Tiberius but Ares.
Nowadays Sejanus is perhaps most famous for having been played by Sir Patrick Stewart in 'I, Claudius'. While reading my Masters in Ancient History at St Andrews, my tutor in Greek and Roman Warfare (sadly only a theoretical class) brought up the performance with some enthusiasm. His thesis was that when Sir Patrick later went on to play Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek episode 'Chain of Command', in the scene where he was brought up for release after his torture in front of the Cardassian gul, his performance directly echoed what he did as Sejanus at the moment he was arrested.
16:54 - Claudius and Tiberius' young grandson Gemellus were still alive, although the latter was murdered by Caligula shortly into his reign. Claudius alone survived because he was seen as a harmless simpleton and cripple by the rest of his family, which may have been an act that he played to stay alive in the murderous cesspool of a royal family that was the Julio-Claudian dynasty.
It is kind of crazy to think that such a mentally untable family was descended from Augustus and Livia Drusilla, two of the most lucid people of their generation. Something went wrong somewhere
I remember this sleezy, ambitious, selfish power hungary Praetorian Prefect from The History Of Rome Podcast by Mike Duncan. Some of the worst purges in Roman history happened here...SOME.
XGolden LightningknightX Elagabalus was is tied with Nero Caligula & Commodus for most incompetent leaders. Domitian should is the best of the worst in my opinion he wasn't that bad.
@XGolden LightningknightX Oh Nero's not so bad. Here in the UK we have named a big coffee shop empire after him. I don't know what their fire insurance premium is.
I look forward to these videos every week, to everyone working to produce this awe-inspiring art I thank you profusely. Keep up the work, Your loyal fans
If Sejanus had came to power as the Princeps, he would have ended the Republican Principate and created a Military Dictatorship with sejanus himself as Dictator.
Kings and Generals Thank you … so much!! I’ve studied the power struggle & transition from Tiberius to Caligula but up to now I’ve never heard of this player. Let alone seen the background moving parts. This awesome post … It’s truly fascinating and provides missing parts of the puzzle that I never knew of !! Sir … I salute you and your in-depth work !! I’m truly Awestruck!! Wow … just … Wow !!
Strange that I never heard about Seianus, then again the dynastic path from Octavius to Caligula is a confusing one so thank you for help clarifying it. Now, who was "more insane", Caligula or Justin II? That is, if being more insane than another insane person is even a thing. Love the art direction in this! Great job, love to see this channel grow.
@@TheDarthbinky I rank Elagabalus with Nero and Justinian II as being mentally disturbed, Elagabalus and Nero both being disturbed and evil. Justinian II sought vengeance against those that wronged him and were involved in his mutilation and exile, while he was loved by the people until he overreached his autocratic caesaropapism yo the people outside Hellas and Asia Minor when he messed with the Patriarch of Old Rome too many times (he was also like Pres Trump in that he made great successes that were hindered only by his shooting himself in the foot all the time). As for Justin II, the man was stark raving mad and even had cooks prepare prisoners for him to eat while in his bouts of madness and when he returned briefly to sanity he hated himself, he was a poor tortured soul who raged against his servants for appeasing his wishes during his states of madness, likewise would viciously hurt anyone who disagreed with him while he was in the madness. His last moment of clarity was his abdication of the throne to his adopted son Tiberius II, afterwards he was chained (long chains for moderate mobility) in a locked up wing of a palace where one would hear his violence (clawing walls and jumping around) and shrieking until the day he died.
I'd hardly call Sejanus unknown although it sucks that the parts of Tacitus' Annals covering his fall from power are lost. I think the crafty Tiberius knew what he had created all along and made sure to crush him when he became too big for his boots.
Thanks for this documentary, Sejanus is one of the cruelest person who taste his own medecine , but i felt sorry for his children ( my native tongue is french)
And I just started the show I, Claudius again. I'm on the Tiberius arc right now. I love Patrick Stewart in the role of Sejanus, he does the role huge justice.
I know this might be a little off topic but, the story of Suleyman and Hurrem would be perfect for this type of video. It would go really nice with the other Ottoman series you guys are doing too.
I love reading the primary texts from..well any time in history really...But particularly ancient history and of course Roman stuff is always especially interesting. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations or Caesar's chronicles of his time warring against the Gauls are always classics that I highly recommend to any out there who are even remotely into Roman history. I really wish I spoke classical Latin so I could read them as they were written as opposed to translations of them. This all tangentially relates to the video simply in that the mention of Sejanus' letter to Tiberius made me think, "hm that sounds like a good read".
The lesson here is "It is better to be impetuous than cautious, for fortune is a woman, and it is necessary, if you wish to keep her down, to beat her and knock her about. And one sees that she lets herself be conquered by men of this sort more than by those who proceed coldly. And therefore, like a woman, she is always the friend of the young, because they are less cautious, fiercer, and command her with more audacity." - Niccolo Machiavelli
Love this, I didn't know any of this before, please do continue to make more content like this. Beautiful video. Does Oğuz Tunç have his own channel or website where I can see more work like this?
Sejanus’s letter to Tiberius was the beginning of his downfall. Tiberius must have realised Sejanus was over stepping because he was already related to the imperial family through his sisters marriage to Claudius. And the crazy thing, after this debacle Sejanus might have been engaged to Livilla and Drussus’s daughter showing the true extent of his ambition.

‘Almost emperor’ is like coming in fourth in the olympics. You’re good at what you do buuuuut you missed it by that much
Always open to title suggestions :-)
“The man who would be emperor”, “in the shadow of greatness,” or how about the Homer Simpson “Doh!!!”
Judging by the amount of deaths from the Imperium I would think it better to remain "almost '. Unless you get cocky like Sejanus did.
I guess it depends on the personality of the person at stake. You don’t get this high up the chain without some degree of crazy ambition. Sometimes power becomes a drug one can’t ignore

Far, far away....
Sejanus: I am the Emperor!
Tiberius: Not yet.
I know this might be a little off topic but, the story of Suleyman and Hurrem would be perfect for this type of video. It would go really nice with the other Ottoman series you guys are doing too.

I love reading the primary texts from..well any time in history really...But particularly ancient history and of course Roman stuff is always especially interesting. Marcus Aurelius' Meditations or Caesar's chronicles of his time warring against the Gauls are always classics that I highly recommend to any out there who are even remotely into Roman history. I really wish I spoke classical Latin so I could read them as they were written as opposed to translations of them.
This all tangentially relates to the video simply in that the mention of Sejanus' letter to Tiberius made me think, "hm that sounds like a good read".
The lesson here is "It is better to be impetuous than cautious, for fortune is a woman, and it is necessary, if you wish to keep her down, to beat her and knock her about. And one sees that she lets herself be conquered by men of this sort more than by those who proceed coldly. And therefore, like a woman, she is always the friend of the young, because they are less cautious, fiercer, and command her with more audacity." - Niccolo Machiavelli
A truly stunning quote
Niccolo Macchiavelli sounds like he's speaking from experience. But is it not possible to wine and dine fortune?

You mean "Patrick Stewart" XD
Sorry couldn't help myself, after "I, Claudius" I'll never unsee Sejanus as "young Patrick Stewart with hair"
Even then he was wearing a wig.

Sejanus’s letter to Tiberius was the beginning of his downfall. Tiberius must have realised Sejanus was over stepping because he was already related to the imperial family through his sisters marriage to Claudius.
And the crazy thing, after this debacle Sejanus might have been engaged to Livilla and Drussus’s daughter showing the true extent of his ambition.
It’s a damn shame that all of Augustus’s original heirs died.
this video was damn good
Thank you!
Interesting topic. It's my first time so early in a video. Yey. :D
It's like Crusader Kings 2.
It feels like the machine is taking over his voice more and more every video.
Whoa so fascinating but also tragic.
Thank you!
Kings and Generals Ah, thanks for the like and comment.
